WooHoo!
We got a stencil making machine, or thermal copier if you will, today! I'm excited, it'll make life much easier, and tattooing faster!

Lunatics are amusing!
Gotta love when drunk people come to get tattooed. Poor Cat had to tattoo this chick that came in and was drunk. She was touching her and giggling through the whole tattoo. What an obnoxious situation. She changed her appointment about four times and missed one of them. Cat never really knew what she was going to tattoo until the girl got here today.
Strike 1: The girl walks in and had already got the tattoo she had originally set up the appointment for, done by another shop the same fucking day as the appointment she missed.
Strike 2: While she was getting tattooed she was touching Cat and giggling and then requested that she come in the other room and bring the other tattoo artists into the room so she had someone to talk to.
She was hammered and we couldn't understand what she was trying to tell us as far as what she wanted.
Strike 3: Decides once her tattoo was done that she also wanted a lip piercing. We're already sick of her at this point and she runs out of the shop and I see her run one way then the other. She comes back in and says something about taking "a couple shots". We shouldn't have done the piercing but we couldn't a hundred percent understand what she was saying so we did it anyways.
Please, I beg of you, never do this to your tattoo artist or piercers! We will loathe you and never want to work on you!
It was def busy today a lot of appointment making and selling of jewelery and showing art. We're running specials on Facebook to get more business in. But that's pretty much it for now.

Japanese Dragon
From yesterday, but whatever....
Pat's tattooing a dragon today. Oriental style, half leg sleeve. It's the biggest piece I'll have seen him do. He's only doing linework today, using a 5 and dark green and golden yellow for the chest plates. The design is unique, he used koi scales instead of snake scales. This piece is being used to take away from a Hanya head that was done on a whim and almost immediately regretted. Pat also plans on reworking the Hanya to make it look better.
Today, I'm doing a skeleton key, my first one! I plan on using a 5 and dynamic black. We'll see if she has anything to add as far as a reason behind the choice. She brought the picture in so I didn't even have to draw anything for her, just did the stencil and now I'm ready to go. Unfortunately, she won't be here until 5:30.
Pat is tattooing today, a phoenix, on a kids side/ribs. He's hurting bad, but I can't see because Pat is standing and doing the tattoo. So I'm sitting here waiting until Cat comes in or until there is something to do.
So my chick came it for her appointment and all went well. The tattoo turned out decent, she was happy with it, so all is good. She said she wanted it because when she was little she was obsessed with The Secret Garden and ever since then she's had a thing for keys. She also said it's there to unlock the past, present and future. I got a lot of facebook comments on it. My friends mostly. They love me though :)
